Apache

AWSTATS is an Apache log file analyzer that will show details about traffic to your web sites.

Setting up awstats guide

now run the awstats.pl script:
% cd /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/
% sudo perl awstats.pl -update -config=mysite

If all goes well, you should see something along the lines of:
Found 0 dropped records
Found 0 corrupted records,
Found 150 old records,
Fount 50 new qualified records.
…at the end of the update script output.

So, to do this with multiple domains, just repeat the steps above, making sure to make the appropriate changes to each domain…

This will hopefully create a config file fore each of your domains in /etc/awstats with the name awstats.web3us.com.

You should now be able to visit www. yoursite.ext/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mysite and you’ll see the fruits of your labor. I chose not to allow web users to do automatic updates. Rather, I have a cronjob set to run the awstats.pl -update script a once per day
(I don’t administer any high-traffic sites, so it’s not critical to have the most up-to-date records). You can see near the end of my Incremental backups with rsync post for more information on that, if you’re interested.

Here are the tips I learned about configuring Apache

Install Apache 2.x

1. Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf to add Directory entries for phpMyAdmin, gallery2, mediawiki, and scripts. AliasMatch ^/phpMyAdmin(?:/(?:de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$ "/var/www/phpMyAdmin$1" Options Indexes AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all

2. Create /opt/www

3. edit http.conf so that the Document Root is /opt/www

4. Changed Web Root to link to /opt/www

5. restart Apache server /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

6. Check the status of apache /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd status [edit] Virtual Root # # VirtualHost example: # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container. # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known # server name. # # # ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com # DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com # ServerName dummy-host.example.com # ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log # CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common # NameVirtualHost 10.52.1.117:80 DocumentRoot /opt/www ServerName witwicky ServerAlias witwicky.nuskin.net witwicky.nuskin.com DocumentRoot /opt/www/blog ServerName insite ServerAlias insite.nuskin.net insite.nuskin.com insite4 DirectoryIndex index.php ErrorLog logs/insite-error_log CustomLog logs/insite-access_log common

I wanted to use the web to capture all the tips and tricks I learned setting up an web sites including content management system (CMS).  I have also added some other useful how to guides for phones, tablets, video, and backup power.
